In November 2018, the Pardee Institute produced Sustainable Development Goals Report: Egypt 2030 for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and these strategic partners: Ministry of Planning, Monitoring and Administrative Reform (MoPMAR), Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS), and the National Institute of Planning (NIP). The report explores Egypt’s current development trajectory to 2030 across areas of human and economic development. It presents five alternative scenarios designed to help explore the impacts of different policy approaches. Using the IFs modeling platform, these scenarios are evaluated in terms of their ability to accelerate Egypt’s development progress and help the country achieve the targets set by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Pardee Institute authors are David K. Bohl, Taylor L. Hanna, Andrew C. Scott, Jonathan D. Moyer, and Steve G. Hedden. They received support from the UNDP team of Pedro Conceição, Sylvain Merlen, Tasneem Mizra, and Nermine Mohamed Wally.

African Futures Paper No. 14. Institute for Security Studies and Drederick S. Pardee Center for International Futures, Josef Korbel School of Global and Public Affairs, University of Denver. Pretoria, South Africa, and Denver, CO, USA.

Using the International Futures modeling system, this paper explores the changing power capabilities of Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa (the"Big Five") over the next 25 years. Ethiopia and Nigeria are forecast to increase their power capabilities, whereas Algeria, Egypt and South Africa are expected to stagnate or decline. Two of the Big Five countries currently punch above their weight--one that is rising, Ethiopia, and another, South Africa, whose growth is stagnant. If Nigeria were able to take the necessary steps to realize far-reaching changes to the governance issues and social challenges that currently beset the country, it could become Africa’s lone superpower.
